Congratulations, Coach, on going 4-0 in the crazy ones! That no doubt is a reflection of a well-coached team.
I do have one question. Why did *your* team call the time out after your opponent's made basket? Wouldn't the other team want to stop the clock with a TO, whereas your team would want the clock to run? Or (a) are you a college coach, or (b) did I misunderstand the sequence of things and their bucket went in just under ten seconds and your inbounder waited with the clock running down until she dared not risk a violation and called the TO.
Regardless, congrats on the Ws!
